Though I am not a home owner, the idea that I can one day be one is a thought I have nearly every day. Homeownership is one of the most dynamic tools a person can use to build a strong and stable future. However, it is a tool that far too many women are unjustly denied access. From the gender pay gap (it's real!) and its impact on credit profiles, to uneven child care responsibilities that consume time and financial resources, to higher rates of mortgage denials despite superior payment performance, the barriers keeping women from home ownership are massive.

I'm grabbing my hammer (I have one!), strapping on my tool belt (I'll get one!), and joining Habitat Chicago's Women Build alongside many other powerhouse women to knock these barriers down. Together, we will help our fellow women become home owners with Habitat Chicago, a nonprofit committed to building a world where everyone has a decent place to live. 

You can make a difference. Help me reach my fundraising goal so we can change the lives of these women forever and prove that there's nothing a group of committed women can't do. I appreciate any support you can give - big, small, or somewhere in between.

Thanks!
Angie
